To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He was shrewd and sarcastic, but wanted easy flowing humour. — J. Taylor.^ To Covent Garden Cooke was an accession of great value : he was a Shylock, an lago, a Kitely, a Sir Archy, and a Sir Pertinax. He was formed for the sarcastic ; like Macklin, his features and his utterance were only harmonious in discord.
He was an admirable Sir Giles Overreach, a character in which Massinger is very close indeed to the power of Shakspeare. I forget whether he played Luke in that author's " City Madam ;"... but the hard, insolent irony of that masterpiece would have sat upon him without a sign of effort. Our drama does not afford many specimens of the kind I mean. It was not sturdy or unceremonious virtue that Cooke excelled in; the sarcasm must be malignant to suit him perfectly. He was an Apemantus, not a Kent. — Boadeti.
> John Taylor was the son of the Chevalier Taylor, a man notorious in his day as a travelling quack. Taylor was a journalist and dramatic author. His "Monsieur Tonson" is still remembered for its humour.
